AstraControl

!(https://cdn.modrinth.com/data/cached_images/d0414135377df09e5bf25eb5a6d0f9c89685e434_0.webp)

A free, professional-grade admin dashboard for modern Minecraft servers.

AstraControl is not an Essentials replacement - it's a server operations control center that lives inside a GUI (and full command set), giving owners and staff instant answers to:

• What is broken?
• What is lagging?
• What hooks are missing?
• What plugins are loaded?
• What players need attention?
• What configs may be invalid?
• What placeholders work?
• What permissions does a player have?
• Is the server safe to reload or restart?

## Features

• Server Health Monitor - TPS, MSPT, memory, uptime, loaded worlds/chunks/entities, platform + Folia detection, all in one screen.
• Plugin Inspector - browse every installed plugin, versions, authors, dependency status, with an optional configured reload action.
• Hook Status - live detection of 14 popular integrations (PlaceholderAPI, LuckPerms, Vault, ProtocolLib, WorldGuard, Citizens, ItemsAdder, Oraxen, Nexo, HeadDatabase, PlayerPoints, ViaVersion, TAB, EssentialsX) - all fully optional.
• Error Watcher - captures warnings/errors from any plugin in real time, deduplicated, with export-to-file.
• Maintenance Mode - toggle, custom reason, bypass permission, persists across restarts, never affects already-online players.
• Broadcast Center - chat, title, actionbar, and bossbar broadcasts with MiniMessage + PlaceholderAPI support.
• Placeholder Tester - raw / plain / MiniMessage / legacy views of any resolved placeholder or text block.
• Permission Debugger - LuckPerms-aware permission and group inspection, with a safe Bukkit-only fallback.
• Online Player Tools - teleport, message, view inventory, run a configured staff command, jump straight into permission/placeholder debugging for a specific player.
• Fully config-driven GUI - every menu's items (material, name, lore, slot, custom-model-data, glow, amount) are defined in `gui.yml`, nothing hardcoded.
• Full localization - every message in `language/en.yml`, MiniMessage formatted, safe against placeholder injection.

## Compatibility

• Paper, Spigot, Purpur: 1. 18. 2+
• Folia: 1. 19+ (proper region/global/async scheduler usage, not a bolted-on compatibility shim)
• No dependencies required - every integration above is a soft-dependency.

## Commands & Permissions

See the bundled `COMMANDS.md` and `PERMISSIONS.md` for the complete, unabridged list.

## Data & Privacy

• No DRM.
• No data collection beyond optional, fully anonymous bStats metrics (`metrics.enabled` in `config.yml`, on by default, disable anytime). bStats collects no personal data - only standard server/plugin usage stats.
• No SQL/HTTP on the main thread, ever.
• Clean console output - a 6-line startup summary by default; verbose diagnostics only with `debug: true`.

Free, actively maintained, and built to be a long-term reference implementation of clean Bukkit/Paper/Folia plugin architecture - modular systems, no god classes, no hardcoded messages or layouts.
